Open Foris is a set of free and open-source software platforms that helps countries measure, monitor and report on forestry progress, take science-based actions, and accelerate forest pathways:
- measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for environmental integrity;
- deforestation-free supply chains; and
- restoration monitoring.
Part of FAO's open-source digital public goods, it serves as a transformative accelerator, ensuring innovative, accurate, and transparent forest monitoring accessible to everyone, everywhere, enhancing effectiveness and impact, while meeting the urgent need for systems that enable accurate, yet cost-effective monitoring, reporting and verification of forest and other land cover.
